Raised beds

Raised beds are a great way to make things more manageable in your garden, particularly for growing vegetables but those available from garden centres or online are often expensive or not of a particularly high quality. I make my own raised beds in either wood or recycled plastic which you can buy and in addition to delivery and installation I can tailor them to your individual needs.

Options

There are a few options available for your raised bed to improve its lifetime, look or to have it installed for you. The options and associated prices are:

  1. Lined – the inside of the bed is lined with a barrier material to extend it’s life. Add £5.00
  2. Painted – the raised bed can be painted in grey, green or brown to extend it’s life and look much smarter. Add £5.00
  3. Installation – If you would prefer me to put the raised together bed for you, no problem. Add £5.00

If you want a raised bed of a different size or paint colour, just let me know and I am happy to give you a quote.

Installing the raised bed

Installing the raised bed isn’t difficult and would take around 30 minutes to put a bed together and place it in position. You just need to screw 4 pieces together, lay it in the final place ensuring it is level and adjusting as needed. Once in place the corner pins/protection can be installed and screwed to the bed.

Filling the bed

The raised bed would need around 250 Litres of material to fill the 180x90cm raised bed – so around 5 x 50L bags of compost/topsoil. For the best results, it should include some of your own top soil (and its micro-organisms and worms), compost and possibly some sand depending on your soil composition. Great thing about a raised bed is that the the soil composition can be tailored to whatever you are planning to grow.
